The daily search for a great bottle of wine. Or at least an affordable one!

2005 KING FISH PINOT GRIGIO

Wed., 2/28, Little Rock, AROkay,
you know the drill. An all day training session, short lunch break,
with rear not leaving chair for a total of about 8 hours. It's days like
this that have me looking forward to getting home, seeing the family
and having a nice glass of wine. I chose the 2005 King Fish Pinot Grigio
as I wanted something a little lite and pinot grigio usually fits the
bill. This one was no exception! After I delicately unscrewed the bottle
top, it still pains me to say that, although I've read and heard all of
the arguments for the twist-off, the sentimentalist in me prefers the
cork, I poured a nice glass and looked for the color. After much
observation I figured out that the color is pretty much non-existent.
This wine is very soft on the tongue, almost like drinking air if that
makes sense? Very light, a little dry with tastes of pear and slight,
very slight, orange blossom. After allowing my pour to sit in the glass
for about 10 minutes or so, I noticed that the flavors became more
pronounced and the wine seemed to gain a little body. I gave this one 4
corkscrews due to its great taste and excellent value at, get this,
$3.99/bottle. The only problem? Go to the vineyard's website and you
won't see this one listed as one of their available wines. Was it a
one-time shot, has it been discontinued, I can't say. I emailed them but
haven't heard back at the time of this posting. If they respond I'll
let you know because this is a great-valued wine. Be on the look out for
tomorrow's post as I'll provide a ratings recap of every wine reviewed
in February. Sit Long, Talk Much, Laugh Often, Drink Wine!
